Too Short vehemently denied the accusations. “The allegations against me are completely false,” he said in a press release. “Let me be clear, I have NEVER had nonconsensual sex with anyone, ever. I have directed my lawyers to vigorously combat these ridiculous claims.

“I have not been contacted by the LAPD about this matter and doubt I ever will be. If I am, I will direct my lawyers to fully cooperate and turn over 100’s of text messages and other evidence that will prove this woman is falsely accusing me.”

Police seem to agree with his version of events. No charges have been filed.
